Sorry. I wasn't building up the suspense on purpose, I really wasn't.

It actually went really well. He was very sweet and attentive but managed to hang onto his man card while doing so, yannow?

He lives in a different state (about nine hours off) but between work and family, he comes to this area on a fairly-regular basis. He said he will probably be here in about a month and if I'm interested, he'd like to go out again.

At this point, an LDR wouldn't bother me at all. Not that's what this is at this point, because it isn't. I'm not ready for a full on relationship, nor is the bunch. But sure, I can go out with a nice dude once a month or so. That sounds pretty good to me and like something we can all handle.

Ama... a green shirt that was kind of open at the back (good color for my hair and eyes), jeans, wedges. I looked not horrible.
